THINK STRAIGHT

Meer over het boek

I know something about you without knowing you: you likely spend a lot of time in your head, worrying and stressing. I call it a preoccupied mind, and the truth is that 99% of your thoughts are useless. William James, a leading psychologist and pragmatist, noted that many people think they are thinking when they are just rearranging their prejudices. Pragmatism teaches that the mind is a tool meant to work for you, not against you. Those who struggle to master their minds often believe it’s impossible, saying, "I can't help but think these things." However, with practice, you can take control of your mind. I’ve done it, and I share how in this quick read that can help you improve your thinking immediately. You have the power to decide what to think or even to choose not to think at all—one of the most practical skills you can learn. Before mastering this, I spent countless hours lost in thoughts like "What does my boss think?" or "What if I fail?" This book reveals how to take control of your mind to enhance your life, career, and relationships. It’s designed for multiple readings and aims to be an anchor during challenging times. Change your thinking, and you’ll change your life.
